Articles Calendar 2 lets your visitors browse your Joomla articles by date. It adds an interactive calendar to your site that marks every day that has content and shows how many articles fall on it — one click opens a tidy listing of that day’s articles. It is a simple, visual way to navigate a blog, news section or event archive without endless scrolling.

Key features

• Interactive calendar module — a clean, responsive date picker you can publish in any module position.
• Article counters on each day — every date shows how many articles belong to it, so visitors instantly see where your content is.
• Only active days are clickable — days with no articles are disabled, so visitors never land on an empty page.
• Smooth month navigation — moving between months refreshes the counts in the background, with no full page reload.
• One-click date browsing — clicking a day opens a listing of every article for that date.
• Choose what the calendar tracks — base it on the article Created date, the Start Publishing date, or any custom Calendar field you have defined.
• Category & featured control — limit the calendar to chosen categories (optionally including sub-categories) and decide how featured articles are treated.
• Multilingual calendar — the interface ships localised in English, Greek, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Portuguese (BR) and Chinese (CN).

How it works

Publish the calendar module wherever you like. As visitors move from month to month, it quietly loads the article count for each day and highlights the days that have content. When a visitor picks a day, they are taken to a listing page showing that day’s articles.

The article listing

The day’s results are presented as a clean, responsive layout — in a single column or multiple columns — with each article showing its image, title, intro text, category, tags and date, plus a read-more link and pagination. Listed articles pass through Joomla’s standard content plugins, so the output stays consistent with the rest of your site.
